Edith Hahn was an outspoken young woman in Vienna when the Gestapo forced her into a ghetto and then into a labor camp. When she returned home months later, she knew she would become a hunted woman and went underground. With the help of a Christian friend, she emerged in Munich as Grete Denner. There she met Werner Vetter, a Nazi Party member who fell in love with her. Despite Edith's protests and even her eventual confession that she was Jewish, he married her and kept her identity a secret.In wrenching detail, Edith recalls a life of constant, almost paralyzing fear. She tells of German officials who casually questioned the lineage of her parents; of how, when giving birth to her daughter, she refused all painkillers, afraid that in an altered state of mind she might reveal something of her past; and of how, after her husband was captured by the Soviet army, she was bombed out of her house and had to hide while drunken Russian soldiers raped women on the street.Yet despite the risk it posed to her life, Edith created a remarkable record of survival. She saved every document and set of papers issued to her, as well as photographs she managed to take inside labor camps. Now part of the permanent collection at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., these hundreds of documents, several of which are included in this volume, form the fabric of a gripping new chapter in the history of the Holocaust -- complex, troubling, and ultimately triumphant.

I found this to be a fascinating book, I could hardly put it down. I found the fact that a highly educated woman successfully played an uneducated woman. How difficult it much have been not to accidently just say something or use words above her station in life. She lived day to day with the fear of being caught and sent to a concentration camp. Edith only had one examination to take to receive her J. D. degree in law with extra training as a judge. She arrived to take the last examination and was refused admittance and removed from the university because she was a Jew, from that moment on her life was in a downward turmoil. She was sent off to a labor camp for Jews doing hard physical labor in the fields. Before this she had never worked physically in her life. On a trip, back to Vienna she took the star off her coat, slipped away as she left the train and passed as an Aryan. She got papers from a catholic friend and moved to Munich where she worked as a nurse’s aide at a Red Cross Hospital. The only job she could get that did not check her papers against the National Registry was the Red Cross. She did not want to get her friend in trouble so she had to stay out of sight. She married Werner Vetter a Nazi Party member. She had a daughter which made her a popular woman with the Nazis. Werner was captured on the Eastern Front by the Russians and sent to Siberia.The book is well written and the description of daily life under the Nazis was interesting. All of Edith’s paper are at the Holocaust Memorial in Washington, D. C. She resides in Israel. It was her daughter that pushed her to tell her story. The book is 330 pages long. I read this as an e-book on my Kindle app for my iPad.
I was born in the late 1930's. I heard about the war, the sirens warned us in our neighborhoods that we must stay in our homes, cover the windows so no light shines out, the Wardens walked the blocks to make sure all was secure.. Then the siren would sound & we could continue with our lives, This was in Chicago, Illinois... After reading Edith Beer's story I have gone back in my memory at each month & year Edith wrote about to think about my life then a child... I was so sadden to feel so ignorant of the circumstances that were taking place in Europe where real men were so vicious, & uncaring ...The depth of her story made me feel I was in her time & feeling her sorrow then mine for her... The only wish I have is that the end of the story the pictures that were shown on my Kindle were so tiny & the documents unreadable that i tried to come back to look the book up to see if I could locate them.. But no....Such good reading
I've read a lot of Holocaust books -- fiction and non-fiction -- so I wondered if there would be anything new in this memoir. This was new, not just because of her situation -- a Jewish woman married to a Nazi party member -- but also in her description of what it was like to be one of the thousands of slave laborers working in Germany and occupied countries. I suspect that very few slave laborers managed to survive, and those who did probably didn't want to revisit that experience.One caveat though, about the "Nazi Officer's Wife" in the title -- it's deceptive. Edith's husband was a party member when they met but he wasn't high in the party and he wasn't even in the army until they'd been married for some time. So a reader looking for insight into what it was like to be married to an officer or a high-ranking Nazi party member won't find much in that regard.The book is rich in detail without wallowing or sugar-coating. Her memories feel very honest, not imagined or colored. We meet Edith and her family and friends when she's in her teens and this background makes what happens later very affecting. She's strong and resilient but is often insecure and afraid, and rightfully so, of course. We follow Edith after the war, when she worked for the Communist regime. That was something new to me and while I'm glad it was included, I started to wonder if this woman was ever going to find peace and security.It's one woman's story of survival, very well-written. It was hard to put down, and I'd love to read more about Edith's life after she left Europe.
As the daughter of a holocaust surviver who lost his parents and siblings during WWII Poland, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Edith Hahn's memoir. She tells a story that is heart wrenching. A story not very different from my own father's.Living through war and its atrocities is mind boggling and bewildering. Being able be a "u-boat" as Edith was in order to survive the war is incredibly amazing and nothing short of a miracle.During the war Edith marries a Nazi, hiding the fact that she was a Jew. She was a loving wife and mother and subservient to her husband. After the war, she returned to being her true self and takes back her life as a Jew and a Judge. She is a true hero to me.Thank you for sharing your amazing heroistic survival with the world.
